- Overview of building a BMW 1M Clone, starting with a 6mt, n55 135i. This is by no means a guide on the "best" or "right" way to do things, but I wanted to share the process. Please leave any questions about the build process below and I'll do my best to answer them. Hope you enjoy!

Respect for calling what it is on the plate
I like that you're just chillin' and trying stuff out and working hard and hoping for the best. You don't have to be a mega-pro to produce great content.
That towel catching fire lmao. Would love to do this same conversion, looks great.
Bro u gotta wear shoes when repairing cars, imagine something fall down and crush your toes, happened to my dad he while he was wearing slippers
Steel toes >
Loved the license plate
Thanks!!
welding in the slippers I relate to that
Let’s goooo Graham!
nice build, your video transitions show how much work you did in edit. nice. criticism = get some shoes
Amazing car great vid, the only thing i would clone is weed , anything else should stay as it is and enjoy it. Great cars so much fun, i have the n54 135i 470bhp oem vargas turbos and full upgrades and maintenance. 6k in so far all in one go engine bits. Get it back end of the month cant wait
Nice work 👏 👌 👍
Great stuff!!
awesome video
Thank you!
so fire
Some real good content in here - you should add commentary over the top so everyone knows exactly whats happening - as well as show more before/after. The end result needs a full walk around showing the final result. Keep it up though!
Great feedback, I might trim it down & add the commentary. Thank you Elliott!
bravo you have talent, I have a 135i conversion 1m but I miss changing the front fenders, I will ask you for advice when I change them if possible
Front fenders bolt on, but you'll need the 1m fender liners (same as m3). Feel free to comment with questions anytime!
Really nicely done! Did you do any research on changing the differential to a limited slip? I think only the 1M has that and the 135is and 135i don't sadly.
A limited slip is definitely on my wish list! Glad you liked the video
Does the front bumper have to be a 1m bumper to match the 1m fenders? Where did purchase the rear fender flairs? thanks for making the video. I admire that you take on the conversion project. That's a big job!
Yes it does! I think someone is making 1m style fenders that fit a 135i front bumper if you’re going that route. Rear flares came from na_papi_ on instagram. Thank you for the kind words, it was a long but rewarding project!
subscribing because i need more e82 content. so make more cuh
I’ll get on it, anything you’d like to see?
What wheel specs and tires are you running?
E9x m3 comp/1m wheels with 255/35/19 & 275/35/19 pilot sport 4s. The fronts rub on fender liners, I’d stick with stock size in the future or run 18’s.
@@GrahamsGarage you sure you didn’t mean the rears? First time I read front 359 rub
@@davidgiannini5220 Rears did not rub but I had to trim the fiberglass fenders to make room. Fronts rub on wheel liners
@@GrahamsGarage damn. Thanks for letting me know. How come though? Was under the impression that oem 1m front Fender in 135 with stock hubs would have same offset and clearance as 1M
Puzzled
@@davidgiannini5220 The recommended tire size for 359's is 245/265. I went 10mm over size (255/275) and that caused the issue.
Where did you get those rear fenders ?
Send a dm to na_papi_ on instagram!
You made it look too easy. Lol. Did you replace or reshape the EVAP lines for the exhaust? What about the battery and cables? What did you do for those?
I trimmed the white evap line that runs to the engine bay but the rest were 1m evap lines. Had to drop the fuel tank some. Battery cables were 1m but in retrospect, 135i cables would've probably worked. IBIS 1m battery cables are expensive! Thanks for the comment Chris!
@@GrahamsGarage I modified my 135i evap lines with heat and shortening for now. I'll prob swap for 1M proper lines eventually. I was looking at other bmw vehicles for the positive cabling and thinking of extending the ground cable by splicing. For now, the battery cables are stretched a bit. Everything else (minus the flares) was mostly plug-and-play. I'm also curious about the interior swap you did. The video was a little vague on what you swapped and why.
what'd you use to get the windshield washers to stick haha
They have a locking tab that snaps into place!
Hey man, did you use genuine bmw 1m bumpers ? I have seen a kit but I want genuine I think with after market rear arch. Do you know if 1m bumpers fit straight onto a 135i?
1m bumpers do not fit a 135i without this modification. They make narrow body (135i compatible) 1m style bumpers. Hope this helps
@@GrahamsGarage thank you mate, I’ve also found what I need for genuine to fit and the list is pretty hefty 😂 will be a long old process
are these oem panels? how much did the parts cost? obv not the rear quarters
Yes, all oem minus the rear. Just counting the oem body panels, I think it was something like 4-5k. Add about 1.5k for oem exhaust conversion. Just a heads up, prices have gone up a bit!
Im sure the care said 128i dude whats up.
